Residents in Fort Worth’s Ventana neighborhood have been disturbed by loud booms coming from the construction site of the new Maverick Golf and Ranch Club, sparking confusion and alarm.
Noise from Construction Site
Residents in the Ventana neighborhood of southwest Fort Worth have reported loud booms from the construction site of the new Maverick Golf and Ranch Club. James Ruiz said he hears the sounds around dusk, and others describe the noise as startling. Rosario Ruiz recalled, “Well, again, it started sounding like fireworks were going off or even shots. I thought perhaps it might have been some gunshots that I was hearing in the distance. That could draw my attention and then, subsequent to that, just continue to hear them periodically and during the evening mainly,” she said.
Police and Media Response
Fort Worth police confirmed they received a couple of calls from residents questioning the noise, but said no formal complaints were filed for investigation. NBC 5 reported that the Maverick Golf and Ranch Club development had been using noise‑making equipment designed to keep animals off the property. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, such devices are commonly used to protect vegetation from deer, and no permits are required to operate them.
Development’s Actions and Residents’ Hopes
A spokesperson for the development said in a statement that once they learned neighbors were concerned, “once they learned neighbors were concerned, … we immediately ceased use of equipment. We sincerely apologize for any disruption.” Residents hope the quiet continues, especially during the holiday season. Rosario Ruiz added, “Again, it’d be nice if it did. It’s during the holidays and it’s just not something you want as a distraction to what we should be enjoying now.”
The Maverick Golf and Ranch Club spans 1,100 acres northwest of Benbrook Boulevard and Hawkins Home Boulevard in Fort Worth.
Key Takeaways
- Loud booms from construction site caused confusion and alarm.
